How Long Does a Birth Injury Lawsuit Take?

Birth injury lawsuits can take quite a bit of time. They require a significant amount of complexity. They require a law firm that has the resources to prosecute those cases. So, for instance, in Florida, we have something called NICA. And oftentimes when a baby suffers a hypoxic injury, so that means their brain goes without oxygen during the labor and delivery process, the hospitals will attempt to escape liability by putting the case in NICA so that the case never can be filed in circuit court. At our firm, we have spent a significant amount of time, and we’ve had a number of cases ensuring that we can avoid NICA so that families can get the appropriate compensation that they deserve when their child is injured.
